How to become a Member

Artists may apply to become academicians in September each year

Artists are requested to submit no more than 20 images on CD Rom or slides for consideration at the Council meeting in September. If successful at this initial stage the artist will be invited to bring in original works to be viewed at the Annual General Meeting in the following April. The artist then requires 50% of the vote to become an elected member. In this way, several artists become Academicians each year.

There is a small administration charge which is non-refundable. There is no formal selection criteria and artists are selected by peer review when it is simply a matter of being successful at the Council's voting procedure. Unfortunately staff are unable to give feedback.
